Lighting Up Pisces

My first birthday present this year, from Marz. (According to her, all my toys are Pisces.)I love this mouse---the light is too bright to see its expression here, but its smile is guileless. I'm rereading David Copperfield--the mouse is like one of the sturdy, likable characters in that--Peggotty? Mr. Dick? (But nothing so treacly as Oliver Twist! I hate Oliver Twist.)

Quote of the Moment

“We are not angels, we are merely sophisticated apes. Yet we feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, craving transcendence and all the time trying to spread our wings and fly off, and it’s really a very odd predicament to be in, if you think about it.”
